Death Becomes Her Will Launch North American Tour in Fall 2026
Playbill: Broadway's Death Becomes Her musical is hitting the road! The show, current running at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre since opening November 21, 2024, will embark on a North American national tour, launching in fall 2026 from Cleveland, Ohio's Playhouse Square.
2026 is a bit of a scary number, because in 2026 (which is literally next year) I will be starting my senior year of college (which is terrifying), but the existence of a national tour of Death Becomes Her does make that number a little less scary. I’ve been wanting to see this musical basically since I first heard about it, and every different song I heard, review I read, clip or photo that I saw really increased my desire to watch this show. While I know that the theatre community tends to be hesitant about Big Flashy Musicals based on movies, I truly absolutely love big flashy musicals based on movies that exists purely as cash grabs from people who remember the movie and are in NYC looking for something to do. They’re fun! I like fun shows! While this will certainly not be the last Big Flashy Musical, it is one that I hope I get to the chance to see on its tour.
